Re: Smash - The Singles 1985 - 2020

Re: Smash - The Singles 1985 - 2020

If I'm not mistaken Single-Bilingual is a different mix as well. Loads of extra harmonies especially on middle-8, different intro with crash cymbal and synth line is lower in parts. Actually sounds better but is not the single version. There's also an echo effect on the word "Barcelona" i...

Re: Which song Pet Shop Boys could cover in the future?

Re: 3rd single "Monkey Business" (Jan 2020)

It has grown on me a bit, but I still don't like it. It's more like a b-side, no decent melody and Neil mostly talking/screaming instead of singing. The house piano which kicks in at 2:40 sounds good, though.

Re: 25 years of Can You Forgive Her

I bought the CD-single the day I finished school. Listened to it on repeat when I got home, surely more than 20 times :wink: Still my favourite PSB-single.

Re: Sad Robot World (instrumental demo) - Soundcloud

Surely not a Pet Shop Boys demo. This guy doesn't even pretend it's by them.
